Question
My child has been crying and not eating much recently. What could be the reason for a two-month-old baby’s lips looking like milk?
Answer
This could be a symptom of thrush or an oral ulcer. It is recommended to take oral vitamin B2 tablets and clotrimazole tablets, and to apply the Shuangxiu Frost spray externally. Pay attention to oral hygiene, using saltwater to rinse the mouth. Also, at this stage, babies are highly attentive to sounds and language. Moms can use some noise-making toys to shake near the baby, who will follow the sound and keep looking at the source of the noise. If you also use some language to amuse him, he will be very happy. You can also play some soft music for the baby to listen to, repeating it when the baby is joyful every day, which can enhance the baby’s brain activity and promote intellectual development.
